First of the roll images – Tip

If you shoot with a manual advance film camera you’ve experienced that the first frame of the roll is usually a partial image. This happens when you take photos prior to your camera hitting zero on the frame counter. These photos are often looked over or forgotten when loading the film. If you advance the film completely to zero before taking a photo, you never get these “first of the roll” images, but they can be fun to play around with and plan for—like the photos below! If you’re trying to get this effect we recommend taking the same photo twice, so you have one partial image and one full image!

For over 40 years, we have developed literally millions of rolls of film and we still love it! Most of us have been doing it for a long time – A.J., Ronnie, Joe, Emmanuel, Aimee, Nancy, Chris, Glen, Keith, Jay, Cyrus, Philip – all with at least 10 years in the craft. We love cameras of all types, as well as the trippy, new films. The Darkroom…
